"This War of Mine" is on sale at 75% off! [:)] Sale ends September 12th! One of the best...from the developers: "In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.

The pace of This War of Mine is imposed by the day and night cycle. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique locations for items that will help you stay alive.

Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better."

Also similar to a secret minigame hidden in Duke Nukem 3D on the Sega Saturn. I remember you had to shoot every toilet in the game to unlock it! [8D]

This is a really good game imo, and as wargamers, maybe one we should all play, as it tells the tale of war through the eyes of the civilians. If you add the DLC, which adds children as well, the story becomes grim indeed.

I bought Factory Engineer, and it's a good game so far but needs more work. After a little bit of time, this could be a great game.

No real droids where harmed during the creation of this game.
Use your straps and stay in your VR area to make sure no humans will be harmed." Here it is...
